Sammy Rabbit’s All Star Reader Program
Be a Special Guest Sammy Rabbit All Star Reader in Sammy’s new Money School!
See the list of industry leader readers below and the communities they represent.
These virtual readings and financial education experiences are going to be a blast. You will not want to miss them and other special experiences being offered through Sammy’s Money School.
During each session special guest all star readers will read and bring to life children storybooks that share a lesson on personal finance and/or economics. Additionally, special guests will be provided an opportunity to share a little about themselves, their career and education.
The financial education experience will go something like this:
(1) Introduction
(2) Read storybook
(3) Share an important point or two about the storybook
(4) Close
During the introduction special guest readers, at their option, may share a few details about themselves including: their profession; where they attended school; the importance of education, reading and being a lifelong learner; and one of their big dreams.
See the initial list of books we will be reading below.
Let’s get kids on the road to financial stability, security and freedom while they are young and before they form debilitating money habits and attitudes!
All Star Readers will receive quality exposure with Sammy Rabbit’s audience in a minimum of three places.
One, in a Sammy Rabbit blog similar to this one, where access is free to everyone.
Two, in Sammy Rabbit’s Money School, where access is limited to members only. Members receive downloadable activities that supplement All Star Reading plus lots of other wonderful Money School content.
Three, in Sammy Rabbit social media posts. We post blogs (item one above) in social media from time to time, primarily on LinkedIn.
